Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Mustard Seeds (crushed)
  • 4-5 large carrots (peeled)
  • 1 large beet (peeled)
  • 6-7 cups filtered water (or enough to cover the vegetables)
  • 1 tablespoon Fine Sea Salt

Instruction

  • Crush the mustard seeds in a mortar pestle or a coffee grinder (it’s okay if they’re coarsely ground).
  • Chop the carrots and beet into long pieces.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a glass jar (I use a half-gallon mason jar) and cover with a lid or cheesecloth.
  • Let the jar sit in a sunny spot for at least one week - stirring with a wooden spoon daily.
  • Once the kanji develops a tangy flavor, that means the drink is fermented.
  • Strain the drink, save the pickles to enjoy later.
  • Put the drink in the refrigerator to chill.
